About the icon If Live View shooting is done under direct sunlight or other hot environments, the icon (warning for the camera's high internal temperature) may appear on the screen. If Live View shooting continues with a high internal temperature, it may degrade image quality. You should therefore stop Live View shooting if the warning icon appears. If you use a hard disk-type card and continue Live View shooting while the warning icon is displayed, the camera's internal temperature will further increase and the Live View shooting will then stop automatically. Live View shooting will be disabled until the camera's internal temperature decreases. The histogram and icon are displayed when [Exposure simulation] has been set as explained in step 5 on page 108. If is blinking, it indicates that the Live View image is not being displayed at the suitable brightness due to low or bright light conditions. However, the captured image will reflect the exposure setting. If flash is used or bulb is set, the icon and histogram will be grayed out (for your reference). The histogram might not be properly displayed in low light or bright light conditions. 112
